Aim:
To watch videos on postnatal depression which are used by professionals, mothers and voluntary agencies and to review their quality, content, and themes.
Background:
To our knowledge there have been no previous studies of video tapes on postnatal depression for use by mothers and health care professionals during the antenatal and postnatal periods. A core group, consisting of a psychiatrist, health visitor and a mother, watched videos produced in the English language from Australia, South Africa, United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK). We found a similarity in all video tapes reviewed with regard to the feelings expressed by mothers and fathers. However, some of the context and culture differed in several countries where, during the management and treatment of postnatal depression, a medical rather than social model was preferred.
